MLB Daily Thread: 8/10/2017: Indians add Bruce to bolster OF, Dodgers on track for 114 wins

Was clearing the $4MM really that important for the Mets? Seems like waiting for the comp pick would've carried more value than a little bit of salary relief and a non-prospect.

Terribly run org

My joke with him is that he is someone you want on your team but also someone the Patriots usually find in rd4 or on the waiver wire.

Before Mcaffreys stock really rose before the draft, a lot of mocks had him going to NE at the end of the first, and i just shook my head, imagining what that kid would do there

Yep. I don't think there's a better example of abject ineptitude in major league baseball than the Mets.

Another very clear example of how the Yankees operate now

They wouldnt take on the $4million salary on Bruce, but the Indians DID?

But also goes to show that the Mets are run like a small market mess.......So they wouldnt take the far better prospect package (whats being reported is 2 top 30 guys) for the price of picking up $2.5 million of that contract????

Thats awful on there part as well

 

[black francis]

absolute steal

Yanks offered better prospects but didn't wanna eat the whole 4 million

This is the old Mets, on a mission to improve every team competing with the Yankees, at the cost of making their own franchise worse

Loserville

I remember when the Royals were called cheap

Funny how the tides have turned

Fraudkees are afraid of $4M? Maybe if they had better attendance, they could afford that.

Dude. Don't bitch just because your owner doesn't care enough about winning to spend the big bucks.

They lead the AL in attendance, 4th in all of baseball

I warned ya, Hal is running a different franchise

Not Bitching, just a clear sign of the times with Yankee ownership

Good for the Indians, they gave up nothing for a guy on pace for 35 and 110

Don't they already have him? He isn't white but he is James White.

I know you weren't bitching.

I was just excited to use the line I heard for years from various Yankees fan on a Yankees fan.

Im slow this morning, I realized that after I typed it

My sister in law happened to tell me the story, somehow missed that

They said his body came down the slide with no head

Could you imagine the people on the platform standing there seeing that as the thing comes rolling in

at about 65% of capacity in a town of 15 million that they share with one of the worst run franchises in the game.

 

[black francis]

how odd that a team with a fanbase of 15M and the biggest stadium would lead the league in attendance

Spoiler Alert - Not everyone in big or small cities, are going to baseball games

No town
